00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:41.440
phone number is 9-1-1 again if you're in

91
00:03:41.440 --> 00:03:43.920
the u.s if you have a health issue you

92
00:03:43.920 --> 00:03:46.400
go to a hospital and you say

93
00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:48.879

94
00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:50.799

to people most people

98
00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:01.280
are not used to talking to foreigners

99
00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:03.599
and even if they notice

100
00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:05.760
that your english is very basic they

101
00:04:05.760 --> 00:04:07.840
will keep speaking really fast here are

102
00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:10.560
some phrases to help you can you please

103
00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:13.920
speak a little slower asking people to

104
00:04:13.920 --> 00:04:15.280
slow down

105
00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:17.120
or excuse me

106
00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:19.839
my english is very basic

107
00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:22.639
can you please repeat now the next step

108
00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:24.720
is accommodation

109
00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:26.560
where you're gonna stay if you book to

110
00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:29.360
hotel you can say i have a reservation

111
00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:30.320
for

112
00:04:30.320 --> 00:04:32.320
hilton hotel

113
00:04:32.320 --> 00:04:35.520
or if you don't have anything you see a

114
00:04:35.520 --> 00:04:38.160
hotel you walk in you ask

115
00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:41.440
do you have vacancies or do you have

116
00:04:41.440 --> 00:04:44.240
free rooms or you can ask

117
00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:46.960
i would like to book a room for a week

118
00:04:46.960 --> 00:04:49.199
and then you ask how much it costs and

119
00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:51.839
then they check you in

120
00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:54.240
and when you leave the hotel they check

121
00:04:54.240 --> 00:04:56.320
you out so the phrase would be i would

122
00:04:56.320 --> 00:04:58.160
like to check out when you're leaving

123
00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:01.360
the hotel now if you're staying longer

124
00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:03.120
you would probably need to rent an

125
00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:06.160
apartment in the us and i guess in many

126
00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:08.560
other countries the situation is you can

127
00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:11.039
have furnished apartments

128
00:05:11.039 --> 00:05:14.080
but most apartments that at least for

129
00:05:14.080 --> 00:05:15.680
long term

130
00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:16.440
are

131
00:05:16.440 --> 00:05:18.000
unfurnished

132
00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:20.240
so if you want to stay for like six

133
00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:21.279
months

134
00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:23.600
you need to ask i would like to rent a

135
00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:25.680
furnished apartment and you would need

136
00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:27.759
to find a real estate agent to help you

137
00:05:27.759 --> 00:05:30.000
with that or you can go to websites like

138
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:32.479
zillow but this is only for us now if

139
00:05:32.479 --> 00:05:34.080
you're using some kind of website and

140
00:05:34.080 --> 00:05:36.240
you saw an apartment that you like don't

141
00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:38.800
transfer money online see the apartment

142
00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:41.520
first when you call them you say

143
00:05:41.520 --> 00:05:44.720
hi i saw your apartment is it possible

144
00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:47.360
for me to see it and then you see it and

145
00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:49.360
if you like it you look at the documents

146
00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:51.360
and only then you make a payment now

147
00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:53.279
let's move to the food when you need

148
00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:55.759
food you either look for a grocery store

149
00:05:55.759 --> 00:05:57.839
or a supermarket and when you're in the

150
00:05:57.839 --> 00:05:59.919
store you can ask a shop assistant to

151
00:05:59.919 --> 00:06:01.279
help you

152
00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:04.240
for example you go there and you say

153
00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:08.319
where can i find milk or where can i

154
00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:10.000
find bread

155
00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:12.880
or where can i find kids clothes also

156
00:06:12.880 --> 00:06:15.759
remember that in the u.s you can return

157
00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:16.960
things

158
00:06:16.960 --> 00:06:19.839
so you can say can i please return

159
00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:22.639
this or i would like a refund which

160
00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:26.479
means i want my money back next money

161
00:06:26.479 --> 00:06:28.560
if you have a credit card but you need

162
00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:31.839
cash you need an atm which is the

163
00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:34.400
machine where you get your cash so you

164
00:06:34.400 --> 00:06:36.560
would ask people around you

165
00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:39.520
where is the nearest atm if you have

166
00:06:39.520 --> 00:06:41.120
your own currency

167
00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:43.839
but you need dollars or euros you need

168
00:06:43.839 --> 00:06:46.400
to exchange money

169
00:06:46.400 --> 00:06:49.919
so you would ask where can i exchange

170
00:06:49.919 --> 00:06:52.560
my money and don't forget to ask them

171
00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:54.800

172
00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:56.560
staying in the country longer and you

173
00:06:56.560 --> 00:06:59.120
